Our services
losis supports parents and family members to change their family life for good through our range of free services and innovative programmes, including social work, counselling, in-home parent coaching and financial mentoring. We also have social workers based in several primary and secondary schools in South Auckland, and we provide temporary care for children and young people through our foster care service.
Experiential learning is the basis for all our programmes, ensuring that new skills and understanding quickly transition to practical, real-life application. Many of our programmes take place at our Family Learning Centre in Manurewa – please see our brochures for current term dates and course content.
